A SHOUT BE8C1IIPTI0:N^ of the MOirXTATX 
SECTION OF XOETH C AEOLIXA. 



Within this territory lies the highest land east of the Rockies, reach- 
ing an elevation of about 7,000 feet above sea level. The climate is 
delightful in summer ; the winters short, with abundance of sunshine. 
The scenery is unsurpassed. The numerous health and pleasure re- 
sorts are patronized by people from all parts of the United States, and 
a more delightful place of residence could not be found. 

The mountains of North Carolina differ from most others, in that 
they are generally covered with deep, rich soil and clothed in forest or 
grass to their very tops. There is much timber, the forests in many 
places resembling those of Canada. It is a fine grazing country, and 
the fertile valleys and plateaux are adapted to all grain crops. Many 
truck crops are also grown for market and domestic use, such as Irish 
potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, pumpkins, tur- 
nips, beets, carrots, beans, squash, etc. ; also berries, grapes, plums, 
pears,. cherries, peaches and apples. The peaches of this section com- 
pare favorably with those of California in beauty and surpass them 
in flavor. This is truly the home of the apple. Apples from western 
North Carolina have several times taken first prizes in competition 
with those of the whole United States. This is destined to be the 
greatest apple-producing section of the entire country. The condi- 
tions for fruit growing are ideal — cool climate, abundant sunshine, 
rich soil and perfect drainage. 

The following is quoted from an article by our late Secretary, Mr. 
T. K. Bruner : 

"In an orchard in Haywood County was measured 'an apple tree 
that had a girth of eleven feet nine inches, and in the same orchard, 
which had never been cultivated, there were a hundred other trees that 
were full three feet in diameter of trunk, and all in most luxuriant 
health. Many Northern varieties found in this section are hardly 
recognizable on account of their great size and beauty." 

Following will be found a list of farms offered for sale. For fur- 
ther information in regard to them please write the owners, whose
